Encode MAC

Description

Encode a list of HLA alleles into multiple allele code (MAC). The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) uses [MAC](https://bioinformatics.bethematchclinical.org/ hla-resources/allele-codes/allele-code-lists/) to facilitate the reporting and comparison of HLA alleles. MAC represent groups of HLA alleles and are useful when the HLA typing is ambiguous and does not allow to narrow down one single allele from a list of alleles.

Usage

encode_MAC(allele_list)

Arguments

allele_list

list of HLA alleles (e.g. c("A*01:01:01", "A*02:01:01", "A*03:01"))

Value

encoded MAC

Examples

allele_list <- c("A*01:01:01", "A*02:01:01", "A*03:01")
encode_MAC(allele_list)
